FACTS/FLUKES: Cueto, Polanco, Hammel, Segura, Stubbs

Cueto becomes an ironman ... Widely considered a major health risk due to previous shoulder and lat injuries, Johnny Cueto (RHP, CIN) went out and tossed more innings than any other NL pitcher in 2014. His 2.25 ERA and 240+ K had Cueto in the Cy Young conversation, and he was one of the most profitable pitchers all year. With four straight sub-3.00 ERAs entering 2015, is Cueto truly an elite pitcher?
